Open from 5 July 2023, Clearing is how you can apply to study one of our available courses if you don't already have an offer from another university. The process matches matches up students looking to start university in September 2023 with institutions and courses that have places available.
You can apply for a course through Clearing if you;
- haven’t applied for university but would like to start in September 2023
- don’t reach your expected grades and your offers have not been confirmed
- have an offer but have decided that you'd like to apply for a different course or university
- received better results than you anticipated
It’s not too late to apply. Please contact our friendly and knowledgeable admissions team. They'll speak with you about the courses that you're interested in and guide you through the process of applying via Clearing.
Yes. Here’s what you’ll need to do:
- Make sure there’s space on the course you’d like to apply for and that the university is willing to accept you.
- Use the UCAS self-release process to release yourself from the place you already have. You might not be able to go back to your initial selection once you've been released, so it’s important you're sure about your decision.
- If you’ve applied for any loans, you’ll need to let the Student Loans Company know that you’ve changed your institute. This is very straightforward and we can help.
